Isaiah 48:3 Context
1Heare yee this, O house of Iacob, which are called by the name of Israel, and are come foorth out of the waters of Iudah; which sweare by the Name of the Lord, and make mention of the God of Israel, but not in trueth nor in righteousnes. 2For they call themselues of the holy city, and stay themselues vpon the God of Israel, the Lord of hostes is his Name. 3I haue declared the former things from the beginning: and they went foorth out of my mouth, and I shewed them, I did them suddenly, and they came to passe. 4Because I knew that thou art obstinate, and thy necke is an yron sinew, and thy brow brasse: 5I haue euen from the beginning declared it to thee; before it came to passe I shewed it thee: lest thou shouldest say, Mine idole hath done them, and my grauen image, and my molten image hath commanded them.
